KPA1500, First Impressions

So far, all looks good.  My only concern is that the ATU doesn't always
find a good match, even when the antenna is below 2:1. With the default
"stop" threshold set to 1.2, it often stops at 1.6:1 or greater.  A
second tuning sometime helps a bit. Increasing tune power to 20W didn't
help much. It seems the ATU ought to be able to do better than that with
a 2:1 load.  Has anyone else noticed this?

That said, integration with the K3 seems to have gone without a hitch.

73,
